Hi everyone, I am new to playing fish tycoon but loved all 3 VV and PT so thought I'd give it a shot but had 15 pregnant fish then only 5 babies then when I got them pregnant again I got none. Can each fish only have babies once or is it just random? Also, do you not always get babies from pregnant fish?

It's not really a fertility issue, but rather a space issue. In the Windows and Mac versions you can have a maximum of 21 fish (or 20 fish and the seahorse) in each tank. If babies are born into a crowded tank, any babies that are born after the limit is reached will be 'eaten' by the other fishies! So, if you have 15 fish and the seahorse in your tank and make all 15 fish pregnant, 5 babies will be born and survive, and 10 babies will be 'eaten' by the other fish.

This issue must be carefully considered in your breeding choices, especially if you have made purchases or discoveries that allow fishies to produce more than one baby with each pregnancy.

Thank you barbara, that was something I hadn't actually thought about, guess I should have! Am now off to try again and put some fish in my selling tank to get some space! Thanks again.

at least the fish get food? this is still not funny.

So they don't die then but get eaten
